markturner1960 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Hi, I have been adapting one of the Syria F14 missions included in the release so I am flying the Hornet instead. Changed the jet no issue, nothing else......however, when tuning the tacan, mother was not showing up, just got the spinning indicators round the HSI...all obvious things checked carefully. In ME, tacan was showing turned on at that waypoint in advanced conditions. What would prevent a tacan beacon from being picked up in the jet ? Also had this in another mission where I added a player jet to the carrier.

Topo Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 In the ship wp advanced condition, the TACAN activation is turned on AND directed to your flight?
markturner1960 Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Hi, does it have to be directed at a particular flight? I thought it just emitted and anyone tuning to that frequency will pick it up?

Topo Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Well, i'm a totally noob and i think you are right, but i can use tacan only when i put my flight ID in the advanced condition; i don't know why, but make a try... Maybe someone can explaine me why you need to specify a particular flight ID... (sorry for my english...)
squid509 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 here is a video of me seting up a quick and dirty mission you can see how to set up the tacan and ICLS in the advance action tab your not for the tacan your not setting the flight you are. you need to set it the unit ID # of the carrier you telling the mission editor what unit the tacan signal is pointing to / centered on yep its redundant the way ED dose it having to go to a tab that is for only one unit and tell it use the only unit here to set it, probably this because how the mission editor passes code around under the hood

Since waypoints and actions are shared by the entire group, the mission editor needs to know which individual unit that TACAN signal should be bound to. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.
